Bagels & lox, pickled herring, kippered salmon in Queens

I live in Rego Park and have been wandering the neighborhood looking for a place that has it all...bagels, lox, nova, pickled herring in cream and wine sauce, sable, chubs, white fish, kippered salmon. The closest I come is Gotta Getta Bagel. Not bad, but they don't have pickled herring, just chopped herring. Other bagel joints have bagels and nova, but no lox. None of the places I've found have the herring I crave. Do I have to go to Gramercy Park to get what I want, or is there some place in Queens I can go to get my Jew on?

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
